Chamomile tea may help fight diabetes
According to recent research, drinking chamomile tea daily may help prevent the complications of type 2 diabetes, such as loss of vision and nerve and kidney damage. In laboratory tests on rats, UK and Japanese scientists found that chamomile extract appears to cut blood sugar levels and block activity of an enzyme associated with the development of diabetic complications. Scientists cautioned that further research would be needed to confirm the plant's role in fighting diabetes-related complications, yet noted that the study raised hopes of a new anti-diabetes drug.
